I used Hodgson Mill Multigrain with Flax and Soy Hot Ceareal in place of the wheat germ since I didn't have any. I also omitted the nuts and replaced the dates with apricots since it's what I had on hand. It's very lightly sweet. I had to bake for just over 1 hour (probably because of my omitions and substitutions). My 3 year old won't leave it alone to cool. She's eating it hot right off the pan! It was my first time making granola, so I was pretty impressed with how easy this was.

I made this for Pick A Chef '08 and really liked it. I have been trying different granola recipes for the last 12 years and this is one of the better ones. I used flax seeds instead of sesame seeds, crushed pecans, a mixture of canola oil and olive oil, and dried cranberries instead of raisins. It's the amounts of each ingredient that makes this recipe good, not too much or little of anything. Thanks for sharing!
